UK doles out more aid than any other country

[cumbriahandyman]

People in this country are going without but...
David Cameron agreed to pump millions more into foreign aid while making cuts at home yesterday.

His decision led to Britain being branded the ‘soft touch’ of the international community by one of his own MPs.

And a damning report released at the G8 summit reveals that Britain spends more on aid as a percentage of national income than any other country in the world – while British taxpayers suffer through an age of austerity.

The UK is spending exactly twice as much on foreign handouts as a share of Gross Domestic Product as the G8 average of the world’s leading economies.

If as DC says "We're all in this together", then the first thing he should have cut is Foreign Aid. But there again, Nu Labour also ringfenced and increased foreign aid when the recession first hit.
IMHO Aid for other countries should be the first to be cut in a recession. We've also contributed money to the Greek and Irish bailouts by the EU to prop their failing economies.
Surely Cameron has to realise the British public won't forget his handing of billions of pounds in aid to supposed third world countries , some of whom have space programs and nuclear weapons?
Time to stop all foreign aid until such time as our economy picks up.

The idea behind foreign aid is great; Appease the bully (Al-Qaeda) and he won't hit you.

Not only that - we borrow the money we give away from Germany and China. It's not our money we are giving away!! Bloody ridiculous.

Foreign aid will cost each UK family £500 this year. The amout that we will have given to prop up failing Eurozone economies will also be another £500 per family.

So, after they have squeezed the tax out of you and your family, they flush away a grand.

Easy to be generous when it ain't your money, Mr Brown and Mr Cameron.

You are all obsessed.
Cant you talk about women's tits or something?

 

[joe-90]

I don't like women with big tits.

 

[thatbloke]

Dont like em too small either.

No , I like a large B cup/small C cup myself.

Apparently the perfect breast is this,

According to evolutionary biology theory, the features people instinctively find attractive indicate health. Such features as clear skin, bright eyes, glossy hair, balanced features etc. are indications of a healthy mate and of sound genetic stock.

Surveys have discovered that there is a way to gauge the attractiveness of a woman's physical proportions, and define the semi-mythical perfect breast size.

Here's how it works: you're trying to determine your WHR, or waist to hip ratio. Measure your waist and hips. Now divide your waist measurement by your hips measurement. The magic number here is .70 -- and if your bust measurement matches your waist measurement or is a little under, congratulations -- you're biologically perfect. If your bust is over or under your waist measurement, then you, like 99% of the rest of the world, aren't perfect.

Going off that theory, I''ve the perfect body! -oh women you say....

Half the problem with Cameron, in his glass tower, is people like him think that Britain is an Empire still, when we are something like 6th in the list, and going down rapidly.

We don't have the resources, we don't have the manufacturing, we don't have what we used to, but a multimillionare like him, won't or can't see that, because they like in a huge bubble, one, that if as predicted, cuts are going to continue, and his 'big bogus society', which the leader of has recently resigned, stating undoable, then there will be a major uprising. It's not deniable, it will happen, probably during the Olympics next year.

We've already seen students riot, a long hot summer, the games, and the tension is going to boil over.

whats that got to do with t**s?

David Cameron yesterday defended rises in overseas aid at the same time as the coalition Government is cutting to services at home.

This man is little short of a fuc@ing liability. What planet does he live on?

Age UK or whatever they are called this week want £2 billion pound just to prop up nursing homes and care homes in the UK. While we are giving double this to countries spending more on space and nuclear weapon research and acquisition than even we can afford.

And where do we get the money for all these handouts, we borrow it FFS.

whats that got to do with t**s?

Because he is a great big one!
